Am I really the only one who now wants a full frozen chicken meat rundown on Wildsnow?
I’m heading over and buying some for dinner right now.
Might this cut down back on internet traffic?!!! 🙁
I’ll be really bummed that folks searching for links to frozen chicken meat don’t end up on WildSnow.com. But focus is key (grin).
Hummm….
Chicken meat at 17,000′ on the Big Mac…. [IMG]http://www.radioparadise.com/graphics/smiles/icon_puke.gif[/IMG]
Well skiing and frozen chicken meat have lots in common, 😆 . You can keep a chicken frozen outside your chalet while skiing. You should post some more of these unrelated link building SEO ideas…
Make sure you take a frozen chicken up Denali and to the summit lol
Shauno, I don’t know if you remember but back in the early days of this blog we found a frozen chicken up on top of Snowmass Resort, apparently it was some kind of sick joke from the ‘trollers, an “avalanche chicken.” We tossed it around for a while like a football, then realized that was probably inappropriate unless we had it for dinner. A frozen whole chicken would certainly look interesting jabbed into the snow on top of Denali. I wonder if the ravens go that high for meals?
haha if your worried about weight maybe a quail. Ive allways been lazy with food in the mountains just going for freeze dried packets in last minute packing. But would be interesting to do it sort of like suprising your mates with a can beer up there.
